l vltiy-present invention is a novelV and improved patternl for useinthe manufacture of,v overshoes,V and moire/.particularly in the type`of overshoesutilizingiautomatic Clo-r 5 sures or. slide` fasteners ofthey metallic type.

In my prior Patent 1,598,878, ,issued- September/Lll, I have illustratedone fermv of Apattern `utilizable in. overshoes of this type, moreparticularly the-type of overshoesv described and` claimed yin mypending,applicationZ Serial No, 94,295, filed March. 12,1926.; e

Animportant feature of; my present invention is thatby, utilizingthenovel pattern illustrated herein, the. entire upper shoe structuremay befaccurately cut, fitted Aand made, havingthe metallic fastenersand; closure at the side, and; substantially along the line ofdeastdistortionimparted to the shoe duringA Walking, I also so form mypresent pattern sol that a gusset, to be yapplied to, the front topvportion 'of the over-` shoe With thel cuff attached thereto, may hecut, from` said` pattern. This simplifies .25 the manufacture of thisovers'hoe by reducthe number of., partsy tobe cut, as Well as.the-number of partsto vthepattern. The provision of thev gusset in thefront upper partt of theovershoe also provides7 suflicient;` give7 or.elasticity, tol take;Careofthevary` ingdistortions imparted` to thelshoe during Walking.`

As shown in the drawings, my novel pattern comprises the component parts1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. 1 is the pattern from which Preferably thegusset is outv from thel same` material as, the -rest of. the

overshoe, there is apparently.` no variation. inthe-symmetry orappearance ofthe overf. I` believe thatl my presenti pattern; is novel,`and I. have therefme Referring to4 the drawings,y illustrating a,

The pattern 4 is adapted; tovhefutilzdi i111:

cutting out the: inside lining; o f; they overshoe, theone patternsulicingfon thelining for both/sides ofthe overshoe;l Ehepattern 4: isprovided with; a slitg or slot 1-1, 'which slot` isl intendedwto beutilizedginf.one.v side@ o f4 the lining only, viz, that side, which,isA interrupted.; by the. metallic feste-ner- The one combinationpattern 5 provides for the ycutting out of theI gore or gusset andfastener cuff, and hasaline 12 indicatingv the line of fold of the cuff.

The pattern 6 is adapted to provide for f the cutting out of the insidelayer of the.

cuff, preferably of the same material, and has a line of fold 13, asWell as notches 14, if desired, to designate the line of fold in thecutout cuil' lining, for securing tothe outer cuff and also a flap forsecuring to the lining of the overshoe. A notch 16 is formed in thepattern 5, the edgcs 17 and 18 representing the edges of the cutoutgusset which are cemented or otherwise secured under the edges of theslot 8 in the quarter 1.

From th-e pattern 7 is cut the fastener stay Which is securedto thelining and has a slot 19 adapted to aline with vthe slot 1lin the liningt, and vvith the opening or slot 20 in the quarter 1, and to the sidesof Which slot 19 are secured the interlocking sides of the automaticmetallic closure or fastener. The fastener stay 7 Will, of course,follow the same inclination or angle .indicated for the slot 11 in thelining 4.

The -edges 21 and 22 of the cutout quarter 1 Will meet ina straight lineat the back of the shoe, so that the line of contact of these edges ofthe upper or quarter vvill be in the most out of the way place, and notapparent to observation, except from the rear of the shoe.

With the metallic fasteners secured to the opposite edges of the closurecorresponding to the slots 11, 19 and 20, and substantially along aslightly diagonal line from a posi.- tion vpreferably over the arch ofthe foot up to a point directly midway of the foi-Ward and rearwardportions of th-e top of the over shoe, I secure the advantages of havingthe entire metallic fastener and interlocking parts when closed inpractically7 a non-movable or non-distorting line, during the necessaryflexing of the overshoe While the wearer is Walking. Furthermore, by theuse of my novel combination gusset and cuff l secure a better, easier,and smoother litting over the instep, due to the elasticity imparted bythe gusset. Thus, by the use of my novel pattern Iam enabled to producean improved overshoe with lasting qualities, and yet embodying theadvantages of a neat front portion and a metallic fastening. I believethat my novel pattern utilized in the construction of such anadvantageous and improved overslioe, is novel, and the same is thereforeclaimed broadly herein.
